I've checked GDB out from the CVS repository:

  cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src co gdb

These should work too but checking out from CVS allows you to keep
updating more easily and maybe even contribute patches.

A while ago I modified Makefile.in (in the gdb directory? - I can't see
now as I only use Mac OSX at work.) to remove the -Werror option which
reports (the apparently harmless) warnings as errors.  It appears that
the source of the warings must not have been fixed, so I guess there
aren't many people using this port (although this might be the wrong
conclusion)

It should compile without this.
